23.01.2022 The Canberra Liberals have announced that we will establish a School for Excellence in Construction and the Trades. This will provide young Canberrans with additional career pathways and choice. My son is an apprentice mechanic and I think we need to place greater value and respect on these roles. Having a dedicated trade school demonstrates our commitment to young Canberrans to get hands on experience and help them become job ready. Investing in vocational training in our schools will secure more skilled workers for the future to keep building Canberra

23.01.2022 The Canberra Liberals’ fresh vision for Gungahlin, Giralang and Kaleen will ensure stronger communities, safer streets, community upgrades and improved facilities.

22.01.2022 Did someone say let’s bring watersports back to the ACT? You bet FIND YOUR GAME is all about providing more fun and opportunity for Canberrans to be outdoors and active and this includes watersports. Today we announced a second trial of waterskiing on Lake Ginninderra. There was a trial in 2010 and it went really well, the Government just lacked the will to follow through. ... We want to go back and test the waters again with locals to see what’s possible and if we can say yes to more watersports.

22.01.2022 Families, households and local businesses will feel safer and better protected with a dedicated, fit-for-purpose Gungahlin Police Station and a new Gungahlin Emergency Services Centre. A Canberra Liberals Government will future-proof the Gungahlin region by delivering a new Gungahlin Emergency Services Centre and a major upgrade and expansion to the Gungahlin Police Station.

22.01.2022 That’s right, we have committed to upgrading our local ovals to give our sporting clubs the facilities and standard of ground they need to grow their competition. Nicholls, Taylor and Hall in my electorate of Yerrabi will all receive much needed attention to determine what change rooms, storage and pitch improvements need to be made to help grow grassroots sport in our region.

18.01.2022 For nearly two decades Giralang has been without a local shop because of Labor’s ‘do nothing’ approach. The Canberra Liberals are committed to genuinely consult and build the community infrastructure that Giralang needs.... I am committed to deliver a better deal for our community and for the neglected residents on Giralang as your local Liberal representative.

17.01.2022 Great win tonight by the Canberra Raiders! Awesome to talk to our Prime Minister, the Hon Scott Morrison (ScoMo) about the ACT election, my sports policy FIND YOUR GAME and of course my local electorate of Yerrabi. If even ScoMo says Vote #1 James Milligan - I think you should all probably listen

16.01.2022 Proud today to announce with Elizabeth Lee MLA my Shadow portfolios in the areas of Emergency Services, Vocational Training and Skills, Disability, and Sport and Recreation. Looking forward to getting on with the job of advocating for the ACT community. #canberra #localpoliticsmatter #actpol #yerrabi #gungahlin

15.01.2022 Feel like an afternoon snack and a chat about local issues? I will be at Casey Jones Pub until 4pm! #supportlocal

15.01.2022 Ok so I know not everyone is mad about corflutes, but they are a good indication of the lack of urban maintenance around our suburbs. The spring mowing program is meant to have started and yet so many natural strips and local parks are overgrown and boarding on dangerous - especially given it is school holidays. I have put in a request for some of the worst zones but really the only way this will change, is with a change of Government on 17 October Vote 1 James Milligan

15.01.2022 While Gungahlin and the outer north’s population has grown, our police force hasn’t. Only the Canberra Liberals will deliver more police to the region, to keep the community safe.

15.01.2022 This is a great tribute to an amazing community leader, mentor and advocate - can’t wait to see the next generation of leaders be supported to achieve their goals. For those of you that may not know Sue’s story, here is a brief summary of an amazing pioneer and community advocate https://www.canberratimes.com.au//sue-salthouse-lived-a-l/

13.01.2022 This is such good news for residents and of course, local businesses. More parking choices means more foot traffic and vibrancy in the Gungahlin Town Centre

12.01.2022 As the dust settles following the final count of the ACT Election (and the awesome AFL Grand Final last night) I want to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone elected as well as to thank all my supporters and volunteers throughout the years. Whilst the result is not what I hoped for, I still feel privileged to have served Yerrabi and will continue to find ways to contribute to local business, sport and our community. I take some comfort from the fact my beloved Tig...ers won the AFL Grand Final last night. Like our ACT election and 2020 in general, this grand final was very different. Held at night and in QLD, the atmosphere was very different and the way the season ran will have lasting consequences for how we conduct sport. Still we are a resilient bunch and I have no doubt sport will bounce back from COVID-19 - so too will the Milligan family. Thanks again for all your messages and well wishes. Onwards and upwards

12.01.2022 Happy Wedding Anniversary to my best friend, number one supporter and all round amazing person - Katrina Milligan. Thanks for always being by my side, politics is a tough business sometimes, but knowing I have your support is such a blessing. Here’s to the next 50 together with our wonderful family and friends

11.01.2022 The Canberra Liberals recognise the important contribution of defence personnel and their families. I also know that there are so many in my electorate who have highlighted issues they encounter when they post in or out of the ACT in terms of a smooth transition and support for their time in our community. To help this process, a Canberra Liberals Government will: Appoint a Minister for Defence Families ... Establish a Defence Families Advisory Council Provide a Defence Families Concierge You can read our full plan https://voteliberal.org.au/our-plan-for-defence-families/

10.01.2022 Great afternoon earlier this week celebrating two of my passions, promoting indigenous affairs, culture and heritage and of course, all things sport and community.

09.01.2022 Today is the day, let’s come home strong and bring a Canberra Liberals Government to the ACT

08.01.2022 The sport news just keeps on coming Did I mention we have committed to a feasibility study for a multipurpose indoor sports centre in West Belconnen Rather than wait for the population to boom and retrofit facilities, we want to assess based on evidence, if and when this type of community asset may be needed.... Forward thinking = Canberra Liberals

08.01.2022 With just hours until the polls close for the 2020 ACT Election, I wanted to pass on my thanks for all your support and faith in me over the past four years. It has been such an honour to represent Yerrabi in the ACT Legislative Assembly. From fighting for more police resources, advocating for better parking solutions and illegal dumping concerns, standing up for local businesses, seniors and families - I really feel even from Opposition we have achieved so much. The develop...ment of comprehensive policies for my two shadow portfolios, and practical local initiatives which I have been proud to present as part of this election campaign. That is why I am asking for your support for another term. By voting #1 James Milligan and then 2-5 Canberra Liberals, together we can make our region the best place to live, work and raise a family.

06.01.2022 What a great day campaigning followed by an inspiring evening at the official campaign launch of the Canberra Liberals bid to win the ACT Election on 17 October

05.01.2022 My last supper with some of #TeamMilligan. These guys have been amazing and I know over the next few weeks, we will push even harder to bring a Canberra Liberals Government to the ACT. Prepoll starts tomorrow and this year there are three prepoll voting places in Yerrabi: Gungahlin Enclosed Oval, Warwick Street, Gungahlin ... Ground floor of the Ruby Apartments, 8 Gribble Street Gungahlin Ground floor of Harrison Green building, 11 Wimmera Street Harrison Prepoll will be operating 7 days a week until 16 October, open between 9:00am and 5:00pm Saturday to Thursday, and between 9:00am and 8:00pm on Fridays. I hope I can count on your #1 support!

05.01.2022 What a great first day of prepoll! Lots of positive conversations and high energy all around the electorate. Together we can make Canberra the best place to live, work and raise a family

05.01.2022 We have a responsibility to allow individuals to live the way they want, to make decisions for themselves, and not necessarily have the government tell them what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. https://canberraweekly.com.au/weve-got-to-listen-liberal-m/
